The College of Grassland Science and Technology of China Agricultural University was founded in December 2018， which was originally from the research group on grassland science founded in 1956, China Agricultural University, and became the Department of Grassland Science in 2000. This discipline began to establish postgraduate degree in 1963 and began to recruit undergraduates in 2001. It has a complete set of national first-class key disciplines, which are undergraduate major of Grassland Science, Grassland Science master's degree and doctor's degree, agricultural and seed industry degree authorization and postdoctoral research station. Grassland Science discipline was rated as A + discipline in the fourth round of discipline evaluation in 2017.

At present, the college has four departments, and they are Department of grassland resources and ecology, Department of grassland production and utilization, Department of lawn and environmental engineering, Department of breeding and seed science.
